2019 NHL Draft - June 21st - With The 14th Selection, The Coyotes.......

[OriginalJetsCoyotes]

Think Caufield will be available at 15-20? Is he the sniper we need?

I’d be happy to add him in that range. But I’d also be nervous about passing on centers like McMichael and Newhook.

Do you think Newhook will be available there? I imagine he goes in that 10-15 space. As for McMichael, I know very little about him but Caufield is a big want personally. I'd consider taking him as high as 9oa.

 

[tucknroll]

You guys sure are high on Newhook and McMichael, personally not as found of them that high
Even Caufield would have me a bit nervous being picked in the top 20

 

[Hogan20]

We’re picking 15th if we miss and 16th if we qualify.

Barring a miracle where we miss and win a lotto.

Montreal has 83 points and Philadelphia has 78 points with the same number of games remaining, both are outside of the playoff pictures. Wouldn't be shocked if both of these clubs end up with more points than us and miss the playoffs. So if we miss, I'd say we're either 13th or 14th.

 

[TheLegend]

Not sure where to put this but we’re minus a scout now...

 

[TheLegend]

More changes coming to the scouting department.....

 

[rt]

Are those pro scouts? Or amateur?

 

[TheLegend]

Are those pro scouts? Or amateur?

There was a list posted around here somewhere a while back that had all the scouts under contract listed and their areas.

 

[Prarievarg]

Are those pro scouts? Or amateur?

Carlsson is an amateur scout in sweden and Kolu in Finland.

I believe the full list of the scouting staff was from an article in The Athletic

 

[Prarievarg]

All not renewed contracts were amateur scouts

Cheat sheet: Who does what in Coyotes hockey operations...

 

[lanky]

So what does this mean for the draft? This seems like a big problem.

I'm fine with firing scouts but shouldn't this have happened in July??

 

[The Feckless Puck]

More changes coming to the scouting department.....

Well, there goes our Central European and Scandinavian scouting as well as the bulk of our amateur scouting. Just in time for the Draft. This, right after cutting Ted Dent (pro scout) loose right before he got arrested.

Barroway's wallet must be on its last legs.

Not renewed isn't fired. They're here for the rest of their contract, yeah? Presumably until this July.

Yotes website shows 6 amateur scouts still with the team. I think it used to be closer to 10 though. We do have a shitload of video scouts though. I assume these are Stathletes "grads".

Maybe. Why not tell them after the coming draft then though? I know if I'm told this with 3 months to go I'm dragging ass the rest of the way. Human nature.

Wonder if they're "grads" or actual employees of Stathletes. Is it possible that Chayka is outsourcing scouting to his own company?

 

[Grimes]

Well if we just lost half of our scouting staff may as well trade the pick for Kessel

 

[hbk]

I believe this is normal protocol/not uncommon.

The reports are already filed on regular season.

We’ve also got a new director of scouting. Safe to say he’s probably got other people in mind.

 

[Name Nameless]

A good thing this thread wasn't closed down, then. How good are this players?

 

[rt]

We need goals so bad. Caufield and Kaliyev both have a good chance at being there when we pick. Two best goal scorers in the draft. Do you take the 5’7 guy or the guy with a bad motor?

Kaliyev doesn't have good wheels, his motor works just fine when he crosses the blueline - for some reason it turns him into a puck hound, where he expends all his energy because he doesn't play a lot of defense...but neither did Ovie when he was younger. Those pure offensive guys you just have to live with their warts until they mature into their game. I'd take Kaliyev, but knowing how our organization/Tocchet style of play, I'd take Caufield, because he's the safer pick of the 2.

Crazy to consider a 5’7 player “safe”. Six years ago, he’d have been undrafted.
